I'm almost a Muggle

After practice and understanding, as well as a lot of magic, Lin Dong has completed casting spells with his bare hands.

I wonder if Xu Lang will go to the scene.

If he can go, you can give him a hair growth spell on the spot, which will definitely shock the whole audience.

Of course, it can only be said.

If Xu Lang had been given hair, he would probably be so happy that he would never shave it off just to cover up for Lin Dong.

The crew of "Monster Hunting" also saw Lin Dong perform magic tricks several times.

But no one connected this to magic.

Lin Dong finally realized something: even if he grabbed someone and told them sincerely that he knew magic, no one would believe it.

The show "Catching Monsters" uses many fictional characters.

Playing with the air is a test of an actor's ability. Many scenes and interactions have to be imagined by oneself.

Lin Dong originally disliked this drama, but after actually acting in it, he realized that he had encountered a new challenge.

Wanting to act in the air in a blank green screen environment really tests one's imagination and adaptability. Sometimes even the director can only rely on imagination to judge how well the actors are performing.

I think so.

Oh, that's what I thought.

After communicating again, neither party still quite understood what the other party was thinking.

The director had to get people to play various virtual characters so that everyone could finally understand what was going on.

But this is still not enough. Whether the effect can be achieved or not is the final say of the special effects team.

There is another kind of person that is indispensable on the set of this movie - the special effects personnel.

Xu Chengyi, who was born in the Hollywood Dream Factory, did not hire a special effects team from Hollywood, but used a domestic base.

"Pacific Rim", "Transformers 4" and "Special Forces 2" are all made by this company.

It is a well-known film and television special effects company in Asia. It has the largest film special effects team in China, with production bases in many places and a team of more than 300 people.

The person responsible for communicating with Lin Dong on special effects issues is a young man named Hu Hailang.

Hu Hailang is a fat man.

After graduating from school, I jumped into the basics.

Taking the lowest salary and doing backbreaking work.

When I applied for the job, I told him that he would get off work at six o'clock if he was not busy.

In fact, there is never a time when we are not busy, and the workload is basically about 2.5 times that of other companies.

Due to the heavy workload, he had to rely on eating to maintain his strength. Therefore, the young man under thirty years old had already eaten and weighed 180 kilograms.

However, the young man is very enthusiastic about his work.

He took the trouble to explain to Lin Dong what special effects he needed to do and what kind of effects his work could achieve.

Lin Dong listened speciously, and when he had nothing to do, he always liked to talk to Hu Hailang about special effects.

He once asked Du Qixi to help find someone who knew how to do special effects, and planned to establish Kleist's own special effects team.

As a result, Du Qixi searched and searched but couldn't find the right one.

Regarding the special effects team, Lin Dong did not hope to find an unreliable person - otherwise he would have asked Pei Qinhu to do the special effects before.

You need to find someone knowledgeable to do this.

If you don't develop, you won't be able to make money at all.

From Hu Hailang, Lin Dong learned that the current special effects factory is not doing well.

Digital Domain, which Cameron co-founded, went bankrupt in 2012. After that, it changed hands several times. Even Maben Film and Television accepted it. However, it only took half a year to realize that it was a big pit, and it was thrown out after changing hands.

Digital Domain is not the only one to encounter financial crisis. Industrial Light and Magic was also acquired by Disney in 2012.

When Lin Dong was chatting with Hu Hailang, he discovered that although this young man was not very old, he really studied special effects very deeply.

"Catching Monsters" is a domestic project, but Base takes it very seriously.

Being able to entrust such an important project to him shows that Hu Hailang is really capable.

"What do you think of base?" Lin Dong observed it for several days and finally decided to take action.

"It's good, what's wrong?" No matter what you think in your heart, it is absolutely impossible to slander your own company in front of an outsider, especially if you still have a cooperative relationship.

"Can it represent the future of domestic special effects? Can it lead domestic special effects personnel to catch up with Hollywood's special effects teams?"

Lin Dong began to talk to him about life and ideals.

This question is very profound.

Hu Hailang was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Because the boss of the company Base is actually American.

To put it simply, it is a private company run by foreigners. It has grown from a small team of a few people ten years ago to a scale of more than 300 people today. There have been several turmoils in the middle, but it has persisted and developed steadily.

.

Base's ability to survive in an environment where special effects companies are generally losing money and even going bankrupt is inseparable from an important factor, which is to use domestic cheap labor to produce relatively high-priced foreign projects, that is, to accept external orders.

This is unmatched by other foreign special effects companies.

His success has also attracted many foreign capitals to set up special effects companies in China or India.

This kind of contribution may be able to promote the development of the domestic special effects industry.

But Base is still just a processing factory. Compared with some large foreign special effects companies, Base only uses cheap labor to process foreign products. After it becomes famous, it uses its fame to process domestic products at the same time.

It is even less likely to represent the future of Chinese film special effects.

People won't hand you the real thing at all. You are just a screw on the assembly line.

"Are you interested in shouldering the important responsibility of the future of Chinese film special effects?" Lin Dong asked expectantly.

"..."

He didn't say anything, but Lin Dong recognized the look in his eyes.

Are you sick?

But it’s normal to think about it. If someone comes to you and asks you if you are willing to shoulder a certain future.

You probably have the same expression as him.

Lin Dong pulled him aside, the two of them squatted down, and Lin Dong started his deception.

Finally, he solemnly introduced himself and said: "I am Kleist's boss. I want to create a special effects team to shoulder the responsibility for the future of Chinese film special effects. Do you think I am sick?"

"Hiss... you are... no, no, of course not."

Hu Hailang shook his head repeatedly.

If a big boss were to talk to you about the previous assumption, you would really need to seriously consider it.

Maybe you have some potential that you don't even know about.

Now I am appreciated.

Start the lucky mode of life.

"I would like to ask you to complete this matter with me." Lin Dong stretched out his hand to him.

"But I'm just an ordinary special effects artist. I don't know enough things..." Hu Hailang is at least an honest person. He said awkwardly: "Even if we have money, we can't do special effects out of thin air."

Come on, our Chinese special effects are still at least ten years behind Hollywood."
